ENVA - Enova Reaches Agreement with CFPB for Consumer Loan Payment Processing Errors
CHICAGO, Jan. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Enova International, Inc. announced today that it has reached an agreement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") addressing payment processing issues that Enova identified and self-disclosed to the CFPB in 2014. The issues arose from technical systems errors, all of which have since been resolved. Although the CFPB has determined that no customer restitution is required, Enova has agreed to a $3.2 million civil money penalty.
"Any errors in our systems, especially those that impact our customers, are taken very seriously by our team, and we have invested in technology and processes to ensure appropriate resolution of such errors," said Sean Rahilly, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel at Enova. "In this case, we self-reported these issues regarding our payment processes to the CFPB in 2014, so that we could work constructively with the Bureau to ensure continuous improvement."
The consent order between Enova and the CFPB covers two payment processing issues that, combined, impacted less than 0.2% of total payments processed by Enova during the period in which the errors occurred. The technical processes that caused these errors were corrected, and customers were contacted for remediation of damages they may have incurred.
